What do you recommend for a honeymoon to Maui?|171603

My fiance and I are going to Oahu for two nights, and then on to Maui for a week to 12 days (we haven_t decided yet). Neither of us have ever been there. Any recommendations you could give about travel books, places to see, stay, or things to do would be greatly appreciated. We were thinking about staying at either the Sheraton Maui Resort, or the Westin Maui Resort _ Spa. Of course, we are open to suggestions. Thanks so much!

That can get pretty pricey if you_re there for that long. If you book through a corporate travel broker you can save TONS _ stay at high quality hotels like Outrigger _ Diamond Hotels _ many more.

We just used an 8 day package from this broker _ stayed at a 5 star beachfront condo resort in Maui which was gorgeous! We spoke to other couples who paid $350 per night at the same resort - we only paid $499 for all 8 days!

I HIGHLY recommend this site for super deals, plus they also offer Fun Passes for Oahu AND Maui which will let you do every attraction _ special tour on the island for FREE! I included the links for all of these below, good luck!

RN2B makes a good recommendation - I organized a two week vacation for a group of 8, one week on Kauai and one on Maui. We took the Fodor_s Hawaii book and one other one, I forget which. We found them to be invaluable references when you don_t have a computer handy or are driving around.

On Maui, I_d recommend snorkeling in Molokini, if it_s the right season, maybe a whale watching trip. I would not advise the road to hana drive on your first visit. Maybe go to a luau. If you want to eat at a fancy restaurant, I highly recommend either of the Roy_s on Maui. I usually go to the Kihei one as it_s closer the timeshare I stay at.

I don_t think you can go wrong with either of your resort choices.

I have a way that you may be able to ask your own concierge service, your own travel consultant about all of that, if you join this resort condo club. Access 5,400 3 to 5 star resorts and some of them cost as low as $149.00 (complete cost) for 7 days. The one time membership cost is also very affordable and has no additional fees for life. Oh, and you can share the benefits with your family and friends for life and its will-able.
Email me if you would like the link to look it over.

We stayed at the Westin Kaanapauli. It was awesome. our room was just a walk to the beach. You can rent snorkel gear from the hotel I think $10 for the entire week. We snorkeled every day!
The old Lahaina Luau was a lot of fun.
We did a helicopter ride. It_s expensive but it was well worth it. Just when you thought it couldn_t be a more beautiful place, to see it from above is just amazing! Blue hawaiian is the one we used.
Pick up a book at the book store, we took it with us and it was very helpful

It will give you exact mile markers to certain places to see, like the blow hole. The island isn_t that big so it doesn_t take long to get to all the places. We did a lot of hikes off the rodes. Anytime we found a little place that we could park, we took a hike. We found a lot of really beautiful places just by our little hikes.

I found the AAA book very helpful... Maui is beautiful, you_ll have a great time no matter which hotel you choose. My favorite place is the Seven Sacred Pools.
